PITTsBURG, Pa, Feb. 24-The en-
ployes of the Baltimore and Ohio Express

another trunk horror. A wooden box,
about four feet long, was received here
this morning from Cincinnati, directed
to James Osborne, Pittsourg. A
search of the city failed to find him
to whom the box was consigned and it
was then decided to open it. When the
lid was broken the express men were hor-
ritied to find the mutlated remains of a
man in an advanced state of decomposi-
ton. The legs and arms were severed
from the trunk in order to crowd il into
the box. Agent Zimmeran of the express
company closed the box and at once notD
fed the coroner. DR.. Dickson, promi-
nent surgeon here, made an exami-
nation Of the body and gave
it as his opinion it had been

shipped il to SOME friend in this city
The top of the head was sawed off and
THE work showed it to have been done by
a profe ssionel hand. There may be; how
ever, something behind the shipment, as
no such name rs the party to whom the
box was addressed could be found. The
authorities here telegrsp1ed to Cincln-
matt to investigate the affair.

Melancholy Death of a Once Brilliant
Clergyman and Journalist.

New YORK, April 5.-Francis Gerry Fair.
field, clergyman, journalist, author Of work
on spiritualism, and veterinary surgeon, died
early yesterday in the Southern Boarding
House at Forty-second street and Third
avenue, from the effects Of the opium habit.
While he was on his death bed, his wife
Josephine, daughter of Judge Griswold, of
the United States District Court, and sister
in-law of Bret Harte, died from the same
cause in the boarding house, No. 27 Stuy-
vesant street, and her body was sent to the
morgue. He did not know of her death and
their relatives were not aware of it until her
body had been sent to the Potter's Field for
burial. Ex-Judge Samuel E. Fairfield, of
No. ZIG Lexington avenue, a brother of the
dead man, made arrangements yesterday to
remove Mr.. Fairfield's body to his mothers
home in Stafford Springs, Conn.
Mr.. Fairfield was educated at a private
school in Massachusetts, at the Gettysburg
University and at a Lutheran thedlogical
seminary. Before he was of age he was
placed in charge of Lutheran church at
Waterloo, N. T. After a year or two of
preaching he came to this city to assist N. p.
Willis in the editorial management of The
Home Journal Later he was writer for
the Daily News and a correspondent for the
Herald. He was in Mexico at the time of
Maximllian's execution and wrote an ac-
count OF 1t as an eyewitness. After his re-
turn to New York he was a space writer for
several newspapers. He also wrote poems
and short stories for magazines, investigated
spiritualism, and studied medicine and scien-
titic subjects. His learning was said to be
extensive, but he did not turn it to much
account in the way of making money. Fail
ing to acquire means as a writer, he became
veterinary surgeon only to give up his
practice In disgust after short trial.
Several years ago he became addicted to
the use of morphine, and his wife, beauti-
ful and well educated woman, fell into the
same habit. They had no children and they
lived in boarding house, avoiding wealthy
and influential friends.

ever be tried again for the killing of that
s0ldierP
For a moment the silence was painful. The
venerable judge seemed TO have guessed what
was coming. He replied In solemn, severe
tones, that were rendered all the more i'm
pressiye by the deathly stiffness.
$50 far as human law Is concerned, Mr.
Foulk, you are free man. No earthly tri-
bunal can try you again." FOulk was the
only person In the room who was not affect
ed. As. coolly as II talking to a circle Of
friends ne replied: Thank you Judge; you
are man Of homer, and know the law, and
believe you. wish TO solemnly swear, then
that killed that soldier. You have acquit-
ted the wrong man."
The effect Of this cool, deliberate state
nent, made IN uolee that never trembled
ana could be heard by every one in the court
room, may be imagined. At once the silence
was broken by exclamatiOns Of surprise and
Indignation, which. however, were quickly
suppressed by the judge. Then, as coOlly as
ne had made the confession, FOulk told the
story CT the murder. He said that as he was
crossing the bridge he met the soldier going
IN an opposite direction. They were old
enemies and had recently had quarrel over
the green cloth. FOulk said that as soon as
the soldier saw him he drew his sabre and
started fol him. Not wishing to kill him,
Foulk continued, 81 drew a little old-fash-
loned pepper-bOx revolver and shot at him

had not killed him he would have killed me.
The evidence of the lady who swOre that
she saw the prisoner at the bar running hat
less past her door was easily explained, and
iurnlshed another instance of FOulk's won
derful nerve. When he jumped of the bridge
his hat fell off and floated down the stream.
When the soldier fell Foulk ran up the street
but did not see the lady standing at the door.
When he had gone little way he remem-
bered that his name was written In bis hat.
and II found, would be used as evidence
against him. Waiting for a moment, and
seeing that no one had been attracted BY the
shots, he deliberately returned TO the scene
OF the shooting, waded down the stream,
found his hat, and went up town through an
alley. That was nerve. The lady was hon
est in her testimony, but she was simply
mistaken, as was afterward proved cOnclu-
sively. OF course, the defend ant was dis
charged. Foulk's story of the killing was
afterward proved to be exactly correct

A REMARKABLE CONFESSION.
A Western Gambler who cooIly Con-
fesses After AcquitaI.

The career of Charles FOulk, alias Charles
Watson, the gentleman gambler who was
shot and killed at Hot Springs by a negro
policeman a short time ago, was an eventful
one says the Kansas City Times: He was
tall and handsome, cool as an icicle, dressed
in exquisite taste, and his manner and con-
versation were every inch the elegant, re-
fined gentleman. His friends never wearied
of lauding his bravery, and his enemies did
not gainsay them Some years ago a soldier
was found with bullet in his heart, on a
bridge near Carlisle. He was of gambling
propensities and an aVowed enemy OF Foulk
The latter with another gambler, was charged
with the crime and placed on trial. The men
were given separate trials, and FouIk was
tried first and acquitted on an undoubted
alibi.
The evidence in the trial of Foulk's sun
posed accomplice was damaging to the
prisoner at the bar. One lady, who lived
near the scene Of the shooting, Identified the
prisoner and swore that she heard a pis-
tol shot, ran TO the door, and saw
him running hatless from the scene Of
the murder. She was certain that it was
the accused man. because there was q lighted
gas lamp near her door which enabled her 10
get good view Of his features. Other evil
denee equally strong was introduced By the
State and a conviction seemed assured.
When the defense opened no one belived that
the case made by the State could be shaken.
Foulk was the first witness for the defense
and as it was known that he was to testify
the court room was crowded TO suffocation
As he was sworn and took the stand there
was a perfect quiet As Foulk took his seat
on the witness stand he turned to the stern,
gray haired judge, and in clear, calm voice
that could be heard in every part Of the
room, said: Judge, before | testify in this
case want to ask you a question. Can

we were unable to do so. When ten miles
northeast of Monhegan we hove to, head off
shore, and an effort was made to jettison the
deckload. But it was frozen too badly and
the vessel was too badly iced up. Being
heavily laden the sea made a clean sweep
over our decks. At 4 D. m. we found the
vessel had sprung leak. The crew took to
the pumps but the leak increased. At q D.

the vessel. Soon she capsized. When the

the crew had lost all their clothes. They re-

drifting at the mercy Of the wind and sea.

us encouragement, hoping that some passing

good behavior, five years from the date Of the
WILL The trustees are empowered to in
crease the allowance of the son and daughter
If circumstances require.
As the youngest child of the teStator's son
is only few months old, it will be a long
job for the trustees, unless the. will shall be
broken. The daughter is only 10 years old
and unmarried, When the will was offered
for probate today the son, with counsel, was
present, and gave notice of a contest He
made allegations of undue influence, etc.

probate will take place within two weeks.
